Poisoned Pen Press Cover: Deeper Than The Grave

Coming in November, from Poisoned Pen Press!Deeper Than The Grave

Will the Civil War add two
modern-day casualties to its death toll?

It’s taken almost a year,
but Tai Randolph has her new life together. She’s running a semi-successful
Atlanta gun shop catering to Civil War re-enactors. Her lover, the sexy if
security-obsessed Trey Seaver, is sorting out his challenges. There’s not a
single corpse on her horizon, and her previously haphazard existence is finally
stable, secure… and unsurprising. Then a tornado blows by a Kennesaw Mountain
cemetery, scattering the skeletal remains of a Confederate hero. Assisting the
bones recovery effort is a job her late Uncle Dexter would have relished, as
does Tai. Does she hit the jackpot on discovering a jumble of bones in the
underbrush?

No. The bones reveal a more recent murder, with her deceased uncle
leading the suspect list. As Tai struggles to clear Dexter’s name — and save
the business he left her — she uncovers deadly secrets were also buried in the
red Georgia clay. And realizes there’s a live murderer on the loose, a clever
killer who has tried to conceal the crimes of the present in the stories of the
past. As she risks her own life to unravel two mysteries — one from a previous
century, one literally at her doorstep — Tai rediscovers her dangerous taste
for murder and mayhem.
